Congrats! That is an awesome time...

My win for today. I hit my GOAL this morning. Surgery last week of September 2014. Starting weight was 222. This morning stepped on scale for first time in a month. BAM! 124.8. Goal was 125. Weight I was when I got married 11 years ago.

It depends on so much. I started at 222 pounds. I began exercising, put a full gym in my home, as soon as I got the green light from my doctor. I toned as I lost. Luckily I had no loose skin. I'm not sure if that was the key or just simply helpful.

I have posted in this thread months ago. Now that I am one year out decided to update my after photo. First picture was taken September of 2014. Second picture was taken this November 4, 2015.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I have struggled with this so much since last night. I spoke to my husband about it at length last night and he agrees that I should do it. He stated that if I could help one person see the long term goal is attainable and to just allow it to happen then my presence was worth it. I just don't want anyone to feel worse about their personal journey of they are struggling so much right now. My heart hurts for each of them because we all know this journey we embarked on was a hard one.

Thank you all so much for your thoughts. I have decided that tonight I will be going to the support group. I am a little nervous since I don't do well speaking to a group of people. I want to help encourage as many I individuals as I can.

I had my surgery September 2014. I have lost 87 pounds. Starting weight was 222. Current weight this morning 135. Best decision I have ever made. My journey was very easy. No complications all.

My doctor just asked me this question last Friday. I TOTALLY see the skinny me now. I let that fat chick that I once was go around month 6. I'm on month 14 now. Starting at 222 and now at 135 I love mirrors again. And selfies. Lol. And the new wardrobe. Boy oh boy I could go on and on.

It's right around the corner. I had my surgery within two weeks of my first appointment, and like you, thought the day would never arrive. Longest two weeks of my life. Best of luck to you. You will be happy you chose this surgery. Best thing I have ever done for myself.
